Hit For Six!

Sri Lanka Cricket Selection Committee have named two 18-member squads for the ODI and T20I series against New Zealand.

The ODI series will hold special importance for the Dasun Shanaka-led side, as it carries ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League points with it.

The Lions are at 10th place in the Super League table with 77 points. They will look to gain maximum points against New Zealand, and secure a direct qualification for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.

The path to Cricket World Cup 2023

The ODI series commences from 25 March, while the T20I series will begin from 2 April.

Fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera, who was named in both the squads earlier, was withdrawn as he is still undergoing rehabilitation following his left ankle surgery.
